With an inarticulate exclamation Mr..
Forrest grasped apple and all, and van
ished through the gate, leaving a small
party of three convulscd with laughter,
which was only checked by the APP
pearance of Miss Smith, who conde-
scended to smile grimly when she heard
of the unfortunate occurrence.
''False teeth, yes!-and, likely
enough, that mustachc of his is false,
too" sharply said the lady, who had
taken an unaccountable dislike to Mr..
Forrest from the very first time she
had laid eyes on him. A suggestion
which. taken in connection with the
conversation of few minutes before,
made Tad unusually thoughtful for the
rest of the day.
If you take that rid'cule over to
John Dotv's you're bigger fool than
1 think fc3." was Miss Smiths tart re-
mark. when Tad spoke to her on the
subject. "Tm free to confess" she
continued, after little. "that il
mightn't be such a bad plan to open
the bag, and see what's in it-that is,
if Cap'n Flagg thinks it's the right
thing to do" she added, for she had
considerable respect for the Captain s
judgment. But the Captain was away
on coasting trip; so the matter had to
be deferred until his return, rather to
the disappointment of Miss Smith.
whose secret curiosity as to the con-
tents of the bag had something to do
with her suggestion.
So, when Tad again saw Mr.. Forrest,
he told him that he guessed he
wouldn't do. anv thing about opening
tne sachef, for awhile longer, at least
perhaps he might see it advertised in
some Of the city papers yet, if he could
only get hold 81 the right one.
MIR. Forrest smiled unpleasantly, ana
said. rather sneeringly, that he had
kept run of the city papers as con-
stantly as most people, and, to his GER
tain knowledge, no such advertisement
had ever been published, nor would
there ever be, us the owner was doubt
less dead, or had long since given up
the search of his lost property. OF
course, Tad would do as he liked-it
was nothing to him; and Tad noticed a
decided chill in the tone and manner
of the usually genial Forrest, as he
turned away.
And yet. in spite of the gentleman's
assertions as to the matter of the adver-
tsement he carried in his inside coat
pocket copy of the Boston Journal.
which contained notice Of consider
able Importance to Tad Thornc, could
he but have known it.

On the following morning, when
Tad. having opened his ewes to the
glad sunlight which .trcamed in ut the
east window Of his little room. began
to pull hi, drovSv ideas together, he
remt mbcred that it was Sunday.

disconsolatcly, with a glance in the di
rcction of the chair where he had
placed his threadbare clothing the
night before.
But what was this? \ partly worn
suit of serviceable tweed cloth-tlle
very counterpart of that in which Joe
Whitney was arrayed when he sprang
aboard the "Mary j." hung over the
chair-back. And that was not all. In
the chair itself lay all the other essen
tials of boys toilet. neatly folded,
even TO Il coarse white linen collar, a
whisp of black neck-ribbon, q pair of
but little used lace-up boots, and a
"second-best" straw hat.
Scarcely able to believe the evidence
of his astonished eyes, Tad slipped out
of bed and proceeded to investigate.
On the top of the pile was bit ofpa-
per, wherein, in an irregular, boyish
scrawl. were written the words: ''to Pay
for maxim Miss smith think you was
def and playin was bare.-J. Whit
ney."
After Tad had gone to bed on the
previous evening. Mrs. Flagg slipped
over to Deacon Whitney's. and ably
seconded by the special pleadings of
Joe. succeeded in cnlistinr the full svm-
pathies of the family in behalf Of shah
Mly-dressed Tad. Joe's wardrobe was
overhauled. and selection made, re-
sulting in the surprise to Tad which l
have mentioned.
'Well, he's what 1 call nice-look-
ing boy" was Mrs. Tlagg's inward
comment, as Tad, with hair neatly
combed and face and hands scrubbed

stairs dressed in his new suit.
Polly smiled upon him approvingly:
the Captain remarked that he didn't
know about taking such dandiiied-
looking chap to church along of such
plain-dressed folks as the Flagg family;
and Mrs. Flagg gave him motherly
kiss.
That's SO much like Joe," laughed
Polly, as the display of the paper which
Tad had found with his little gift
necessitated an explanation of Joe's
previous performances.
always remember, Tad," coun-
selled the Captain, with grave shake
of the head, as they sat down to the
table together, ''what Solomon says
about wise son maxim glad father
-and-and he that is not warned
thereby is not wise." concluded Captain
Flagg, who was sometimes a little hay
in the correctness of his quotations.
After breakfast, the Captain read a
chapter from the New Testament aloud.

making comments upon the text, for
the edification Of Tad and Polly, who
listened with respectful attention. And
then, after awhile, at the summons of
the rather unmusical church-bell, the
whole family decorously made their
way to the Westinghouse. close by.
The Exporters were, generally speak
irg. church-going people; and, on the
pleasant April morning of which ]
speak. the church was well filed.
To Tad's secres joy, Deacon Whit
ncy's pew was next Captain Flagg's,
and soon he had the extreme satisfac-
ton of seeing Joe filing in ahead of his
sister. followed by Mrs. Whitney and
the deacon. Joe sat at the extreme
end. and thus the two boys were divided
only by the slight partition between
the pews. ff1
Joe greeted Tad with a wink, and
clasping his hands together. rolled his
eyes upward, as though in rapturous
establishment at Tad's festive appear
ance.
Il think you're just as good as you
can be, and wish had something to
give you!' whispered Tad, warmly.
''Poh, that's all right" returned Joe,
Struggling his shoulders carelessly; and
whispered conversation ensued, which
was only checked by the entrance of
the minister; whereat Joe, dulyadmon-
ished by poke of his sisters fan, and

One who once walked upon earth, and

teachings of the great Master began to
